Drain Clearing in Grand Junction, CO
Clogged drains can cause serious issues in and around your home. For instance, it could result in a toilet that doesn’t flush properly, an inability to run your washer or sewage backflowing into your house. In some cases, a clog can cause physical damage to a pipe that can result in a leak. Therefore, it’s critical to deal with drain clogs quickly, and the folks at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing can help you do so.
Take Advantage of Our Drain Clearing Services
Our team has the tools, knowledge and experience necessary to make short work of even the most stubborn clogged or dirty drain. Therefore, we can limit the interruption that our presence might cause as well as the interruption that a clogged drain might cause. Let’s take a closer look at how we can be of service to you.
Drain Clearing
If you have an older home with older pipes, they are likely to be full of hair, grease and other materials that have accumulated over the years. Even if you install lint traps or take other steps to slow the accumulation, you can’t stop it entirely. We can use a camera to look into the pipe to determine what is causing the clog and the best way to get rid of it.
From there, we can snake out the organic material or push it toward the main sewer line. If the blockage is caused by a physical object, we can take apart the pipe, remove the object and put it back together in a safe, proper and timely manner.
Drain Cleaning
You may be able to avoid a costly drain unclogging process by having drains cleaned on a regular basis. This allows for the removal of debris that can result in clogs or damage to pipes. Having pipes cleaned on a regular basis can prevent foul odors caused by organic material breaking down inside of them.
Cleaning drains may also prevent them from becoming a haven for pests that see material or liquid trapped inside of them as a free meal or drink. You may also be able to get rid of any pests that might be inside of a pipe, which may prevent them from spreading throughout the home.
In some cases, a drain cleaning may be an easier and less intrusive method of drain clearing a tub that is draining slowly or a washing machine that isn’t emptying properly. Our team can provide more details about whether a cleaning or unclogging is necessary to meet your needs.
Plumbing System Repairs
If you notice a drain has a hole, crack or other imperfection, it’s critical to have it fixed today. This is especially true if there is damage to the main line as that can impact the function of your entire home.
Fortunately, our team can either repair or replace a pipe or series of pipes in a timely manner. In addition to making your home safer and more efficient, new pipes may actually increase its value.
We may also be able to fix a broken toilet, repair a faucet or take other steps to ensure that your home’s plumbing system is working properly. Our team will take time to assess the situation and provide more insight into what needs to be done before any work is done on your property.
Great Reasons to Let a Professional Do It
Whether you need a pipe repaired, cleaned or cleared, it’s almost always better to allow a professional to do the work for you. In most cases, we can do the work faster and safer while actually saving money in the long run. Let’s take a closer look at how we can make that happen.
Why We Can Do the Job Faster
We’ll have tools capable of clearing even the largest clogs from pipes that can range from a few feet to dozens of feet long. It’s unlikely that you will have those tools on hand or be able to find them easily. Therefore, you can save yourself a trip to the hardware store as well as money on tools that you might not know how to use properly.
Our experience enables us to work quickly to ensure that your home is free of clogged or damaged pipes. We’ll know what to do almost immediately upon arriving at your home, which means that there is no need to spend hours watching tutorial videos or otherwise trying to figure out what the next step is.
Why We Can Do the Job Safer
We will have access to protective equipment to avoid stepping in sewage or coming into contact with other hazardous materials. We also know what we’re looking at, so our team is less likely to accidentally handle something hazardous to our health while engaging in a drain backup clearing or similar projects.
Once again, our knowledge and experience comes in handy as we know how to use our equipment properly. We also know how to work in tight spaces in an effort to avoid muscle strains, head injuries or other injuries that could result in medical bills and other secondary problems.
Why We Can Save You Money
Yes, you will likely pay more upfront for professional services compared to doing the job yourself. However, there are many costs that you can avoid by hiring our team to help you. For instance, you won’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on tools or take a day off from work to complete an urgent repair.
You also don’t have to worry about the costs associated with fixing any mistakes that you make along the way. It’s also possible that you’ll have a warranty or service guarantee when you hire a professional. Therefore, you won’t be on the hook if you happen to use defective products or something goes wrong during the course of your project.
We Can Prevent Additional Damage to Your Home
Another angle to consider is how working in a timely manner may prevent additional damage to your home. For instance, fixing a leaky pipe in a day instead of a week means that there is less time for mold or mildew to grow and spread. It also makes it less likely that sludge, sewage or other materials can get into your house.
Preventing backflow may also avoid water pressure and other issues that could damage a toilet, shower or kitchen sink. If hazardous materials were to backflow into a washer or other appliances, you’d likely need to replace them.
We May Be Able to Work With Your Insurance Company
Depending on the circumstances surrounding a clogged or damaged pipe, your insurance company may help you pay to clean or replace it. Your insurance company may also pay for the costs to fix any damage caused by a clogged or damaged pipe such as sewage backflow or mold caused by a water leak.
Our team may be able to coordinate with your insurance company to ensure that the work is done and paid for in a timely manner. Hiring a professional may also improve your odds that your claim is approved or that future claims for damage related to plumbing issues are approved.
This is because working with a licensed plumber means that the person who does the work knows how to do it in accordance with applicable codes. It also means that the work was done with the proper tools and parts designed to fit your home.
